Function
Transcription activator, when associated with BHLH2/EGL3/MYC146 or BHLH12/MYC1. Regulates the epidermal cell fate specification. Mediates the formation of columellae and accumulation of mucilages on seed coats. Controls the elongation of epidermal cells positively in roots but negatively in stems, leading to the promotion of primary roots elongation and repression of leaves and stems elongation, respectively. Ovoids ectopic root-hair formation, probably by inducing GL2 in roots. Controls trichome initiation and branching.
